How does one compute the ripple currents seen by an active PFC output capacitor?

Suppose one is designing a single-phase power-factor-corrected power supply, with a known average current load: The ripple current seen by the output capacitor is critical. If that current is too ...

How does one compute the ripple currents seen by a boost converter output capacitor?

Suppose one is designing a boost converter, with a known maximum current load, and a known inductance: The ripple current seen by the output capacitor is critical. If that current is too high, the ...
